Everybody Hertz... A title that really grabbed my entire attention ... But in the end...Nothing new but still beautiful...!!...I have to addmit that this album is not the best of Air....but still not a worse .IT IS A VERY GOOD ONE.I was really disappointed with the bad reviews by critics and fans about this ALBUM ( the re-release of the unreleased track (THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT)+ some of the remixes of other three tracks that appeared in their latest album)... (There is no effort that was spent in making these mixes....They are way too noisy for an Air album....and some of the tracks appear with the same kinda beat..)

That's what was said in some reviews I read and still remember...I believe that It might be right....but still I think that keeping on the same kind of style is not a mistake as long as it's right...and has it's fans and it's own popularity..I mean it is difficult to find something new nowadaysI think that Air are one of the few bands that are great in singles just like in their albums... They managed in this one to satisfy most tastes by providing different style of music....So you haves some tracks with the same title but can be played in different moods....Like (don't be light) for instance...it is composed once as a electro-dance influence and once with the same coverage of air (chill-out electronica music)...which I think is really clever..I also recommened those following ITEMS by AIR :-SEXY BOY (FROM THE MOON SAFARI ALBUM)-LE SOLIEL DE PRE DE MOI (SINGLE)-KELLY WATCH THE STARS (FROM THE MOON SAFARI ALBUM)

this particular compilation of remixes, remakes, and covers of a few of air's tracks off of 10,000 hertz legend is all right. the track remixed are: 'don't be light', 'how does it make you feel?', and 'people in the city'. mr. oizo gets things started with his remix of 'don't be light', which is simply amazing. using his glitch dub tactics, he filters any cuteness from the track, and throws it in the french gutter where he resides and likes it. the eerie ending with the vocal part is disturbing. adrian sherwood and modjo provide some nice covers of 'how does it make you feel?' and 'people in the city' respectively. the neptunes tear up 'don't be light' for their own maniacal purposes. the hacker develops a return to the rave with 'don't be light', and the malibu remix is a nice, flowing piece of electronic brilliance. these are the gems of the ep. however, astralwerks still doesn't seem to understand that no one likes edits, as they place two edits on this ep for 'don't be light' (as if the fact thomas bangalter doing the editting grants any kudos) and 'how does it make you feel?' they waste track space. also, jack lahana's remix of 'people in the city' is just shock rock at it's worst. poor production, horrible lyrics (b.i.t.c.h.e.s in the city is not funny after a minute), and it's way too long. however, the cd rounds out nicely with 'the way you look tonight', a return to the mellow for air and very well produced. the live video is nice for all your air fans, and does the track ('people in the city') justice.

First came the brilliant Moon Safari, then the excellent Premiers Symptomes, then the wierd but vaguely interesting Virgin Suicides. Then Air released 10,000Hz - tolerable but not very good... and now this! Yuck. This album is just terrible. Amazingly bad. Most of it is insanely repetitious and boring. That which rises above boring is downright unpleasant. I had to turn it off 3/4 of the way through because it was giving me a headache.Avoid at all costs. Dont even accept this disk for free, unless you need a coaster.

The edits are a waste of space, and B I T C H E S in the C I T Y is kinda lame. I like the ozio remix of How Does It Make You Feel, and The Way You Look Tonight is one of my favourite Air songs. But even that song doesn't sound like its finished. I think some of these tracks would have made good b-sides to compliment singles, while sparing us of the trash and filler that takes up half the cd.
